for flavor and categorization

When purchasing Asparagus reach for spears the thickness of a pencil or less. Remove at least one-half inch of the base and store in an upright container (such as a juice pitcher) with several inches of water in the bottom. Use within three to five days of purchase. Use real Parmesan cheese. The difference in flavor from mass-produced imitations is telling. [I posted this recipe.]
